A project with a scope of more than one billion and five hundred million euros (even if the economic plan only speaks of two million for "environmental compensation") which, in the intentions of Nurax Wind Power, should guarantee an annual production of sustainable energy up to 1660 Gwh , contributing to the achievement of energy independence of the entire country.
